Going all-in on a Wayland future

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

    Well shit. I would like this better if more things played nicely with wayland, as wayland itself seems pretty great. Remmina for example can’t do multi-monitor outside of x/xwayland for example and this is breaking for me when i remote into my work computer.

    I realize that this is the fault of remmina and not wayland. Any RDP client recommendations that work on wayland for this?

      RDP has been my biggest gripe moving to wayland for my workstations at work. I’ve done a ton of looking and found nothing that actually replaces the extremely mature RDP environment that X has. For the life of me I cant get the built in KDE remote desktop to work.

      In the meantime since everyone is just moving forward with wayland without much for remote desktop support I just use a virtual X session over xrdp.
